RE: North vs. South
Over the years I have hunted MI, MD, VA, KY, NC, SC, GA, AL and KS. Iwill be moving to Kansas this year in time to get my resident tag and may jump over to MO and try to poke one of their deer with an arrow. Will also be putting in for tags in ILL and Iowa.
VA has some good bucks in certain areas. One of the nicest buck I ever seen was near Quantico, Big rack small body!
